Views of Anacapa #3 | Cycling as Metaphor
https://cyclingasmetaphor.wordpress.com/2013/01/15/views-of-anacapa-3
Views of Anacapa #3. 126 miles; 6k ft. climbing; 7hrs 27 min. This past Saturday I rode my first 200k of the year with the PCH Randos. This was my third time riding this course. So by now I should know the way without putting in any “bonus miles” or having to scrutinize the route sheet too much. About 20 miles in, a small group including my friend Mark, riding his first brevet caught up with me at the info control in West Saticoy on the outskirts of Ventura. We stopped briefly as a volunteer (Foster?

http://acompletecrank.blogspot.com/2009/04/im-soooo-excited.html
A blog mainly about my adventures in the world of vintage bikes. The builds, the rides and the ups and downs of collecting. I just might spout off about other things as well. Friday, April 17, 2009. As I stated previously I absolutely LOVE bike parts. Long story short.I am now the proud owner of two truly elusive and utterly fantastic Pino Moroni skewers! I'll write more about them and post pics when they show up. I can't hardly wait! Posted by Kelly D. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Im a hurtin unit.

A Complete Crank: February 2009
http://acompletecrank.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
A blog mainly about my adventures in the world of vintage bikes. The builds, the rides and the ups and downs of collecting. I just might spout off about other things as well. Thursday, February 19, 2009. I absolutely love Hi-E. Page with some catalog scans so I'll do some digging there. And there is also a bit of discussion about Hi-E in general in the bikelist archives. Has a few entries on Hi-E as well. If you havent' been to that site it's great and I use it almost daily! Posted by Kelly D. Wednesday,...

A Complete Crank: Another longish ride...
http://acompletecrank.blogspot.com/2009/04/another-longish-ride.html
A blog mainly about my adventures in the world of vintage bikes. The builds, the rides and the ups and downs of collecting. I just might spout off about other things as well. Sunday, April 19, 2009. So I went on a pretty long ride today with my friend Albert, his wife and their son. It was tons of fun! I wish my right knee had popped too. I decided I wanted to ride a different bike so I pulled out my Nashbar Alpha Road 5000 to get it ready. So at this point I hauled the GF's bike off the hook to adjust i...

A blog mainly about my adventures in the world of vintage bikes. The builds, the rides and the ups and downs of collecting. I just might spout off about other things as well. Sunday, April 5, 2009. I'm a hurtin' unit. This really sucks. I'm gonna do some research and try to figure it out. Maybe I'll revise my fit based on what I find out or maybe I'll just build up my mileage a bit before my next ride.I was braking in my new VeloOrange saddle too which was interesting to say the least. It...Some Blogs I ...

Orange County Circle Santiago 300K | Cycling as Metaphor
https://cyclingasmetaphor.wordpress.com/2011/04/02/orange-county-circle-santiago-300k
Orange County Circle Santiago 300K. Haven’t updated in a while – but here’s a ride report from a 300K I did back on Feb. 5th with the PCH Randonneurs:. The night before, I stocked up on “recovery drinks” at the Bruery. 8220;What would you like, sir? 8220;All of your cookies, please”. 8220;A cookie…? 8220;All…all of your cookies.”. My total was something like $1.39 for a fist full of sugar that would propel me onward all the way up the Santa Ana River Trail. We spread out then re-grouped a few times just ...

Sleepless in Solana | Cycling as Metaphor
https://cyclingasmetaphor.wordpress.com/2011/08/06/sleepless-in-solana
Catching up on documenting some older rides, this one was from March 19, 2011:. Just a glimpse of the fields filled with wildflowers on the periphery of Anza Borrego. Crows would rise above the swaths of yellow, like one of Van Gogh's late paintings brought to life. Sun cutting through the mist. Stopping in Alpine, I went into a doughnut shop and had a brief but pleasant chat with the girl who worked there – then moved on up the hill, sad to see Alpine Beer Company. I passed through Descanso, pausing ver...

“Big Tujungas to Wrightwood” Permanent | Cycling as Metaphor
https://cyclingasmetaphor.wordpress.com/2014/06/01/big-tujungas-to-wrightwood-permanent
8220;Big Tujungas to Wrightwood” Permanent. On a whim I rode the “Big Tujungas to Wrightwood” permanent yesterday. At 217k with around 15k feet of climbing, it’s not the easiest route. Passing through the tunnel on Angeles Forest Hwy, you encounter Hidden Springs, but since the Station Fire, there has been no water here. This was also the first time on the ride I saw one of the dreaded “Poodle-dog Bush” plants:. Rando-nesia must have set in, as I’m already planning a re-ride (hopefully I’ll f...2015 Coff...
